More of a mish-mash. I think Ducks unlimited (or some such) gave advice on what should be a resevoir and what should be a stream. They used machinery to dig pot holes in many of the bogs to mimic when it was more of a cedar swamp. I'm sure someone knowing more than I will chime in.

I took a friend out to see something over by the Factory Branch area today. The Greenwood Forest roads are horrible, the worst I have ever seen. It was not fun driving back there at all. The beaver at Blacks bridge completely blocked the creek at the bridge for God knows how long, allowing the...

Dash, when you insert a photo you can drag one of the corners in to make it smaller.

River Rats blocking up your creeks. I'd create a $100 bounty. Where is this? It's no longer a creek, now just a stagnant slough.

Did you see the canal at the end?

They are playing to the young hunters who want to look the part and be respected for choosing the right gear. Speaking of crazy prices, I get offerings from this company too, even though I never bought a thing from them (yet). I get a kick out the names they give the things they sell: "attack...

Al, I went to the local community college for a course on keyboarding when I was 54 years old. A real game changer for me. You can learn this at any age.

The photo of that red creature looks doctored. How can they be that big and yet not noticed on your skin (as people say)?

And the guy cooking him up is smiling and pleased.

Are you sure you saw the entire document? You have to go to the museum for that. I think it says 'in 3 folders'.

That mulberry and steak looks good. I see he's picking dangleberries, which in my opinion have very little flavor. But, whatever, I like his ingenuity.

Bamber has both bass and pickerel. Speaking of Bass, this secret spot behind the old waretown dump is bassy. This is my son from about 12 years ago out there.

It's likely easier for us to ask you what you already do know about the places to fish in the pines.

This is the link to info about the Dover Forge records. I have yet to see them. http://7005.sydneyplus.com/final/FindingAid.aspx?template=Collection&initial=02bafe0e-5b55-4fef-9bc0-f0e579d78600&lang=en-US

And note how using the slope map, there is a steep portion. Maybe this is just showing the slope of the berm side where they built it up.

I wondered the same thing, because it appears to be. Maybe it is, but perhaps they gave it a gentle slope too by building it a bit thicker at the base. I can see that slope area in my mind; heavy on the mountain laurel, inkberry holly, maybe a pine, dangleberry, and greenbriar. At the bottom...

This gives a clearer picture. There is no stream when it dips down, it simply dips into the lowland near the canal.

I've been in that swamp, and it has, up by the old forge, heavy orange coloring. So, yeah, maybe. There is a Dover Forge Ledger, maybe there is something in there that can be tied to that practice.

But here's a piece of the puzzle. See how it bends down into the creek, and then a possible canal shoots over to the old canal that used to be on the north side of Dover Forge Pond. maybe they used it to pull product via mule out of that lowland swamp.

That is a thought, but I don't think it's a road to cross Cedar Creek. The road to Bamber did cross at the sawmill here below. And, more importantly, there is no road shown on the topos from 1870 on up.
